Despite coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) being a major health crisis in the current times, only a few studies have addressed its potential direct effect on mental health, especially among COVID-19 patients.
This study was conducted to assess the mental health of COVID-19 patients.
In cross sectional study, mental health status of 301 symptomatic and 200 asymptomatic COVID-19 participants was assessed using the General Health Questionnaire-28.
Around 8.78% COVID-19 patients were found to be psychologically distressed that was predominantly higher among symptomatic COVID-19 patients. Risk of psychological distress was significantly higher in females, living in nuclear families and having a history of addiction.
COVID-19 patients suffer from psychological distress, which needs to be addressed to cope well with this pandemic situation.
尽管冠状病毒病2019(COVID-19)是当前的重大健康危机,但仅有少数研究探讨了其对心理健康的潜在直接影响,尤其是在COVID-19患者中。
本研究旨在评估COVID-19患者的心理健康状况。
在一项横断面研究中,使用一般健康问卷-28对301名有症状和200名无症状的COVID-19参与者的心理健康状况进行了评估。
发现约8.78%的COVID-19患者存在心理困扰,这在有症状的COVID-19患者中更为普遍。女性、生活在核心家庭且有成瘾史的患者出现心理困扰的风险显著更高。
COVID-19患者存在心理困扰,需要加以解决以更好地应对这一疫情形势。
